Pinchgut only perform one opera a year, but their production of Cavalli’s 17th century hit, Giasone, would make you think they played baroque opera constantly, so at ease was everyone with the style.

This is an interesting portrait of a person, but a powerful exploration of personal choice in the face of wider societal expectations.

The show is entertaining, engaging, hilarious at points, yet quite heart-breaking in others. The music is spectacular and Chappell and Dikkenberg’s voices are like liquid gold.

When it isn’t getting bogged down in Shakespeare’s verbiage, it’s light-hearted, funny, and kind of gloriously anti-romantic.

Mullum Music Festival, now all packed up until next year, is such a smorgasbord festival of the creative kind: you have to embrace it, cruise with it, chillax, contemplate, absorb and slide into the slip-stream of events.

A dark open mouth of a proscenium arch, hemmed with a moustache of broken, missing or faded light bulbs. A thin, endless branch arcs into the sky. Grey, brick-worked waste land. Two men, like tattered coats upon a sticks, wait.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
